Default Cruise control
This is probably really stupid, but when I set my cruise control and then have the need to increase speed and set it again, it always goes back to the original setting. Is this normal operation? Thanks!

Think that sounds normal, you can bump the speed with the toggle/switch (forward to increase/back to decrease). Or disengage the cruise control and set it again for the speed you want.

Is there any chance you are hitting "resume" instead of "set"?

If you reset it, it should keep the new speed. Not even sure right now....it's been a while, but i'll be out riding on thursday and will check on that

I vote for this as well

If you set it to a new speed, it can't be going back to the old speed

If you bump the switch on the right side forward, it should increase the speed + hold the new setting. Pulling it back slows it down + changes the setting. How are you doing it?

I will be cruising at say 65 and take it up to 70 and hit set and turn it loose. The bike will slow back down to 65

Now that I say that, I may just need to hold it longer because it may be just bumping up to 66
